Profile:
A steady left arm orthodox spin bowler, Don Anurasiri had a
static international career. After making his international debut
at the age of 20, he remained around the fringes of the team for
a number of seasons without ever cementing a permanent position.
Whenever called upon he was a wholehearted performer, though at
Test level, his bowling lacked penetration, highlighted by the
fact he never took a five wicket haul in 18 Tests. Capable of
extended spells of sustained accurate bowling, willing to flight
and turn the ball, Anurasiri was often used to contain the
batsman on unresponsive wickets. Anurasiri enjoyed his most
successful series against the touring Australians in 1992/93. He
bowled with admirable consistency to capture 10 wickets in the
series. Anurasiri's career at the international level appeared
over after falling out with the cricket board in 1994. However,
four years on, he made a shock return against Zimbabwe in the
final Test in 1997/98. Spinning the ball away from the bat he
provided a solid foil for Muttiah Muralitharan, capturing 3/65
and 1/41, and in the process helped Sri Lanka to victory. (Johann
